Apricot, light greens, sky blue and naturals combine to create relaxing, light-hearted environments for modern living. These four bright interiors are average sized homes, which exhibit practical ideas for comfortable layouts within modest dimensions. The warming apricot vibes that flood through these spaces cultivate an uplifting mood that feels like coming home to a hug. Blue and green tones cool down the palettes, along with breaths of grey that bring back an air of sophistication. Natural timber elements beautifully earth the light multicoloured schemes and introduce a tactile quality. We also see how to take colour down a notch by switching out sweeter accents for sandy base tones, whilst staying equally warm and welcoming.
